Chapter 151 Co-production
"Ms. Cai, let's talk business. You've said so much, but I don't see where my benefits are. If there's nothing else, I'll leave first!"

"Don't!"

Cai Yinong hurriedly shouted, and after a moment of hesitation, he said, "If Director Jiang thinks that Tangren has potential, he can buy some shares!"

Jiang Heng smiled and didn't answer immediately.

He glanced at the night view outside, smiled and said, "I'll think about it. We'll talk next time!" Then he stood up and walked out.

Cai Yinong sat there in a daze, then stood up and chased after him and asked, "Director Jiang, will we meet again?"

"Will do!"

After Jiang Heng finished speaking, he got into the car that the hotel had prepared for him.

After thinking for a moment, he rolled down the window and asked, "Would you like me to give you a ride?"

After hearing this, Cai Yinong felt ecstatic at the unexpected turn of events, and hurriedly got in the car and sat next to Jiang Heng, "Director Jiang, we meet again!"

"It doesn't count this time, let's talk about it next time!"

Seeing the smile on Jiang Heng's face, Cai Yinong knew that it was not a complete rejection and there was still room for negotiation, so her mood gradually calmed down.

At the same time, I knew that I was too impatient. If I wanted to get the project, I would have to give up a lot of profits.

However, when I think about the rumors about Jiang Heng when he first debuted, and how he was able to keep his composure and negotiate repeatedly with major Hollywood film producers to insist on splitting the revenue for distribution, I feel relieved.

If it were any other Hong Kong or mainland director, he would definitely sell the copyright directly.

Jiang Heng returned to the hotel only after sending Cai Yinong away.

He had not been to Shanghai very often before and usually stayed in a hotel.

Although I bought several properties this time, either the decoration was old or they were unfinished, so I still live in a hotel.

After washing up, Jiang Heng lay on the small sofa in front of the window, thinking about what happened today.

He hadn't really thought about how to make the "Legend of Sword and Fairy" drama before, but after meeting Cai Yinong today, he felt that they could work together.

After all, every director has his own aesthetic. If he replaced the director with a big beard and used the same actors, I'm afraid he would make "Legend of Sword and Fairy" into a work with blowers blowing wildly, slow motion, and circles.

Thinking about that action scene, I couldn't help but shake my head.

The fighting scenes in the Tangren version of The Legend of Sword and Fairy are quite exciting, especially the role of the Drunken Swordsman, who is extremely handsome.

If Jiang Heng went to shoot it himself, he could reproduce the original scene.

If it were someone else, it wouldn't work.

It would be better to let Tangren shoot the film and he would do the post-production to make the special effects of the film better.

But Tangren should forget about copyright or anything like that, as it is something that cannot be given up.

The most we can do is co-produce or invest in the company, which is also something we can consider.

In addition, the role of Li Xiaoyao naturally belongs to Hu Chuan, and Hu Chuan signed with Tangren in 02.

Of course, Cai Yinong has not realized at this moment that Hu Chuan is the best candidate for Li Xiaoyao.

According to the original history, when preparing to film The Legend of Sword and Fairy, the director was hesitant between Zhou Yumin and Lin Zhiying, thinking that their ancient costume looks both fit the image of Li Xiaoyao.

The person who helped Hu Can get this role was Deng Jiajia, the aunt in "Love Apartment".

When she saw Hu Chuan dressed in ancient costume, she went straight over and asked, "Are you Li Xiaoyao?"
The director happened to pass by and naturally looked at Hu Ge, then walked away without saying a word.

Later, the chief planner of the original game saw Hu Chuan and thought he was like the prototype of the character, so he told the director.

After much discussion, Hu Can was finally allowed to wear Li Xiaoyao's clothes. After trying them on, everyone was stunned.

Now, iQiyi, Youku and Tencent Pictures want to produce "Legend of Sword and Fairy" and reproduce the classic, and cooperating with Tangren is a good choice.

It's just a way to gain more benefits.

The next day, Cai Yinong called and wanted to have a meeting.

Jiang Heng thought for a moment, "Well, you can drive, right?" "Of course!"

"Just right, come and pick me up!"

Cai Yinong didn't think much about it and drove a BMW 5 Series to the hotel where Jiang Heng was.

“Director Jiang…!”

"Don't worry, take me to the Porsche Center first!"

Although Cai Yinong was puzzled, she still drove Jiang Heng to the Porsche Center in Shanghai and watched him pick out a 911 and carefully choose the configuration.

I couldn't help but think wildly in my mind, and secretly said: "What is this scene today, a domineering president?"

But I find it hard to believe it. Director Jiang has so many beautiful actresses around him, he wouldn't have any ideas about me, right?
When the car purchase was completed, Cai Yinong realized that she had overthought and was so angry that her teeth were itching.

I am a beautiful boss after all, and you really treat me as a driver!

I wanted to drive away directly, but when I thought about the drama "Legend of Sword and Fairy", I held back.

In the afternoon, I sent Jiang Heng to Pudong again. Seeing him chatting leisurely with the leaders, I realized that this guy is really good at bargaining.

I couldn't help but sigh, the richer you are, the more stingy you are. All the domineering CEOs are fake.

In the next few days, Cai Yinong was able to make an appointment with Jiang Heng whenever she wanted, but she would drive around with Jiang Heng and watch him buy all kinds of things. She felt really envious and depressed.

Fortunately, with the successful signing of the Pudong Animation Industrial Park project, the cooperation on "Legend of Sword and Fairy" can finally be discussed.

Jiang Heng’s condition was that iQiyi, Youku and Tencent Pictures had to acquire a 40% stake in Tangren.

The "Legend of Sword and Fairy" series of TV series were jointly produced by the two companies, with each taking half of the investment. Tangren was responsible for filming, while iQiyi, Youku and Tencent Video were responsible for post-production, and they could not interfere with each other.

The profit distribution was 30% and 70% respectively, with the Tang people getting 30%.

When Cai Yinong heard these conditions, she was so angry that her lungs almost exploded.

This is too dark. If she agrees, how can she be a boss? She will just be working for Jiang Heng!
"Director Jiang, the revenue from this movie may not be as much as what you have spent these days. Do you think you are bullying our small company?"

Jiang Heng smiled, "Hey, Mr. Cai, you can't say that. Cooperation is about voluntariness, equality, and mutual benefit. You can't use the word bullying!"

Cai Yinong was almost crying with anger, "It's only 15% of the shares at most, and the profits must be split in half!"

"Thirty, at most forty percent!"

Cai Yinong naturally disagreed and tried to talk to him several times. Seeing Jiang Heng's firm attitude, she had no choice but to call Li Guoli and finally agreed to Jiang Heng's request.

After that, Du Huan was responsible for a series of signings.

Jiang Heng flew to the United States and set up a film and television production company in Hollywood to prepare for the filming of "Inception".

After finishing all these, I returned to China, dealt with some trivial matters, and then began to prepare for the promotion of "The Matrix 3".

As expected, Chen Kaige did get into a fight with him.

《黑客帝国3》定档7月19日，《无极》定档7月26。

It is said that after a week's interval, the impact of each other's ticket rooms will be greatly reduced.

However, Chen Kaige insisted to tell the media that after the release of "The Promise", the box office myth of "The Matrix" series would come to an end.

Jiang Heng was speechless after hearing this. After thinking for a long time, he couldn't figure out where the confidence came from to say this.

After the film was finished, he should have seen the final result!
Just then Han Sanping called to talk about the reconciliation, so Jiang Heng asked him if he had watched "The Promise".

As a result, Han Sanping said that he had seen it and that the film was good and had a chance to win an Oscar, so Jiang Heng fell silent.

It seems that although this person has always led Beijing Film Academy and China Film Group to invest in commercial films, he still yearns for art in his heart and wants to make money without doing anything!

The problem is that Jiang Wen was only super successful with "Let the Bullets Fly", but he failed with "One Step Away"!
